About This Blog

Hey there, I’m Tim Howerand I’m the high school sports writer for the StarNews.

Originally from Pennsylvania, I move to Wilmington in 1995 and have been here ever since. I began working as a part time sports reporter with the StarNews when I was 16. When I’m not out covering games, I like to root for my favorite teams — Michigan, Phillies, Panthers — as well as play tennis. I also enjoy volunteering at my church, Pine Valley United Methodist.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you have about our coverage of high school sports in Southeastern NC.
